Lake, in publicly reading Mrs. Ida Terry and Mrs. Georgie Phillips out of the church for dancing. When the notice was read rom the pulpit many of the congregation exhibited signs of indignation and left the church at once. The ladies are only brides ofa month, and the alleged ofense vas committed two weeks before their marriage, but has only just now been found cut by the preacher. The affair has created much indignation, and there IS much talk of forcing the parson to re. sign. It is alleged that he has also talked of expelling Clinton B. Fisk, the millionaire, and recently the Prohibition candidate for Governor, on account of his owning part interest in hotel where liquors were sold, but he desisted through fear of the loss of Fisk's none. tary support to the church.

Hickman claimed to have formula for manufacturing an article he called sugar. inc, out of common starch. The sugar. inc was to take the place of ordinary sugar, to which it was equal. In all re- spects, according to Hickman's story. sugarine could be made for 11z cts. per pound and sold readily for 5H. Several capitalists became interested and fur nished considerable sums of money. which it is said Hickman converted to his own use. When he found he could no longer blindfold his dnpes he left the city for Montreal, where he now is. Hickman IS said to very highly connec. ted in Philadelphia.

F% Notwithstanding the many protesta- tions of economy made by the Arizona Democracy they have succeeded Tn creating larger bill then the much
 reviled Thirteenth. The mere fact of their raising the salary of Federal ap- pointees, which is in strict conflict with the laws of Congress, proves conclusivey that they had no intention of making good their numerous promises to the people priorto the election. Economy is good word, but it has no place in the Legislative halls of Arizona.

The fees of the Probate court clerks, are laagely increased. and it will now be worth fully as much as the Judgeship. The fees sf the Territorial Secretary, is also largely increased by the terms of this b,ll.. The result ofthe fee bill in its application to all county officers, can not yet be forecast, but that a surprising re- duction in almost every department will undoubtedly be the result.
